Just had to come over and comment on your new avatar photo!!!! I wish more people would do the same. I posted a photo of myself a short while back as a puzzle but haven't gotten brave enough to use it as one of my avatars. Thanks for doing my puzzles too!!!! Your granddaughter is a delight above. Our son, who is now 31, pulled a good stunt when he was about 2. He was in a bed by then but during the night he must have rolled off the bed and continued to sleep under the bed. In the morning when I went to check on him, I could not find him and panic set in!!!!! I was so afraid that he had gotten outside somehow. But thankfully after some frantic searching, we found him safe and sound, still asleep under his bed LOL Kathy

I agree with Joan that she is a cutie. My daughter used to jump out of the crib. She would come out the door and I wondered how she did that. One night I sat in the doorway and watched her. I took the crib mattress out of the crib and put it on the floor. I didn't want her to break her neck! She was about a little over 2 at the time. The timing was perfect because I was expecting again and needed the crib for the new baby. After that night I put a box spring and mattress on the floor for her bed.

She was a precocious baby and was standing here at 6 months old. She climbed out shortly after this and even though she would fall off of the outside she preferred that to being in her crib for anything. Her parents were afraid that she would do herself serious injury so they piled pillows at the bottom for her to land on. She was walking by 8 months and climbing at about the same time. Small wonder that her parents wanted to wait for quite a while before having another child! She is just a cutie and now at 3 years old she has a baby brother who is just as laid back as she is "get up and go".
